The use of a high pressure jet wash for cleaning the headlamps,

another soft cloth.

CUSTOMISING STICKERS  
These customising parts are self-adhesive stickers, treated to give good  
resistance to ageing and tearing.  
They are intended for customising the body.  
Available also as accessories, we recommend that you have them fitted  
by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified workshop.  
When washing your vehicle, keep the end of a high-pressure  
lance at least 30 centimetres from the stickers.

MATT PAINT  
From the range of cleaning and maintenance products in the  
"TECHNATURE" range recommended and approved by PEUGEOT,  
use only the insect remover and car shampoo, which are the only  
products to be used on the bodywork.  
If you vehicle is finished with a clear matt lacquer, please observe the  
following recommendations to avoid damaging the paintwork by the use  
of an inappropriate cleaning procedures.  
These recommendations are also valid for alloy road wheels finished  
with clear matt lacquer.  
The insect remover can also be used to remove minor marks  
(for example: finger marks...).  
Never clean the vehicle without water.  
Always have paint repairs done by a PEUGEOT dealer or a qualified  
workshop.  
Never wash your vehicle in an automatic roller brush car wash.  
Never polish the vehicle body, nor the alloy wheels. Doing this will  
make the paintwork shiny.  
Do not use paint cleaners, abrasive products or paint polishing or  
preserving products (such as wax, for example) on the paintwork.  
These products are only suitable for bright finishes. Application of  
these products on vehicles with a matt finish will seriously damage  
the paint surface of the vehicle, giving rise to irreversible shiny or  
stained areas.  
Never use a high pressure jet wash with a lance fitted with a  
brush, this may scratch the paintwork.  
Never select a wash programme that finishes with a hot wax  
cycle.  
We recommend the use of a high pressure jet wash, or at least a  
water hose with a high output.  
We recommend that the vehicle be rinsed using de-ionised water.  
Use only a microfibre cloth to dry the vehicle. It must be clean and  
used without heavy pressure.  
Lightly wipe off any fuel stains present on the bodywork using a  
soft cloth, then leave to dry.
